Fill a quart jar with water and add the bouillon cubes, bring to a boil in the microwave to dissolve. Dice up beef. Putin ziploc bag with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Shake till meat is covered. Heat oil and butter in bottom of soup pot. Add beef and cook till browned. Add onion and celery, cook till clear. Add veggies, broth, tomato sauce and 1 qt. water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove 1 cup of liquid and allow to cool. Whisk in flour to thicken and return to pot to simmer for another 30 minutes.

The first time I made this I was a bit too generous with the salt. If that happens to you add sugar 1 or 2 teaspoons at a time to combat the extra salt.

About Me

Although we live in Kansas my heart and home is in Indiana. My husband DR and I have been married 10 years and lived in 5 states. Along with our twin 9 year old boys and 4 year old daughter, we love to travel and are kind of like gypsies :)
Although I'd love to live closer to my Hoosier family I am blessed to be able to see so much of the country that I wouldn't be able to otherwise. What blessings the Lord has given us!
